KU professor manhandled by student
Karachi, May 05: A senior professor of the Department of Physics,
University of Karachi (KU) was manhandled by a student on Tuesday
within the campus.

According to details, Dr Zaheer was heading
out of his department in his car but the passage was blocked by a
motorcyclist who was talking to a girl student.

Dr Zaheer told
the student, identified as Faizan, to move out of the way. The student
did not comply. When Dr Zaheer got out of his car to tell him to give
way, the student, instead of clearing the way, assaulted him. The
Campus Security Advisor Dr Khalid Iraqi was informed who came and
handed over the student to the Mubeena Town Police Station.

After
some time the student was released as, according to a source, Dr
Zaheer, who belongs to Sindh Teachers Forum (STF), and the student, who
is affiliated with a political party, reached a compromise.

The
father of the offender works in the Department of Chemistry as a
laboratory attendant and had informed Dr Iraqi that his son was the
student of first year in the Department of Sociology. However, this
statement could not be corroborated after some inquiries.

President Karachi University Teachers Society (KUTS) Dr
Abid Hasnain condemned the high handedness of the student. "However,
KUTS cannot take up the matter and proceed further as Dr Zaheer has not
sought any help from them," he added. The news
